Project Specifications
Refurbishment works to a live facility
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Total Care were awarded the contract for refurbishment of the Sisters of St. Joseph flagship facility in North Sydney.
The project involved a two-stage upgrade to existing external pathways and St. Ignatius amenities. The purpose of the project was to reconfigure the existing pathways to include compliant ramps and handrails. The project includes forming new concrete ramps and stairs, blockwork retaining walls and paved finishes.
The amenities refurbishment works comprised of full strip out of the existing bathrooms, changing the floor level to align with external works, tiling and fit-off with new fixtures and fittings.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
The project takes place in a live facility with staff and members of the public requiring access to all buildings throughout the job. The project was carefully staged to ensure critical ramps are delivered on time to facilitate access. The construction work has been programmed to allow quiet works during mass services and additional supervision specifically for public safety during complex works.
The demolition process required flexibility and careful planning. Total Care worked with facility managers in arranging
pre-planned shutdown periods to ensure the safety of all staff, residents and construction workers onsite.
